There were a few very similar questions a few weeks ago. Were they also from you? As discussed then, the high mortality of prematurely born persons is almost entirely in the first few years of life. If you are healthy and have no anatomic or neurological effects of prematurity, your life expectancy is now independent of your early birth. Try not to worry. Discuss w/ your doctor(s). Good luck.
